Latest research in the United States: mushroom extract can kill human papillomavirus

Mushroom extract can prevent human papillomavirus (HPV) from causing cancer, a new US study has found HPV is a highly infectious common virus, which spreads through sexual contact, causing skin and human mucosa infection, thus inducing cervical cancer, throat cancer and other cancers in women More than three-quarters of women around the world are reported to have been infected with the virus or other strains that cause cervical cancer According to statistics, more than 99% of cervical cancer cases are caused by HPV However, there are no drugs on the market that can effectively treat the virus Recently, a new study showed that 10 women with HPV took mushroom extract once a day Six months later, eight of them recovered Now, this experimental clinical study has been widely used in more patients Professor Judith Smith of the University of Texas said: "the results of this experiment are very encouraging Now, we can confirm that at least three months of treatment is necessary, and some patients still need six months of treatment " Professor Smith said they were ready to use Lentinus edodes for a second phase of a six-month clinical study, because they contain a chemical called "active glycosyl related compounds" (AHCC), a mixture of amino acids, polysaccharides and minerals AHCC is a nutritional supplement, which can effectively enhance immune function by increasing immune cells without any side effects on human body Professor Smith presented the results at the International Conference of the society for integrated oncology in Texas It is understood that AHCC is suitable for women, but also for men with similar efficacy, that is, AHCC can treat genital warts At the beginning of this year, Professor Smith carried out relevant experiments on mice The results showed that AHCC could eliminate HPV within 90 days, while greatly slowing down the growth of cervical cancer To some extent, AHCC can be regarded as immunotherapy, that is, using the autoimmune system to resist diseases Professor Smith pointed out that AHCC is a common nutritional supplement with good tolerance In Japan, it has been used for decades.
